Hi, Typically ovulation monitoring is carried out along with ovulation stimulating drugs like Letrozole. The monitoring can be done through external sonography but infertility specialists prefer vaginal sonography to find out the exact date when you ovulate and also the size of follicle(s).
With the above medication, I seem to have put on weight and become quiet moody. Have headaches in the evening usually on CD17 and CD18 and a bloated feeling most of teh days , have observed this in the last few cycles. Is this common with Femara or Progesterone. A bit worried bcos, I also have PCOS and with the weight increase it might hamper my chances of conception. Any advise anyone ?
March was my second cycle with Femara. I just got my BFP after 2 years TTC. I didn't notice many symptoms of the Femara...we knew it was working because I had ultrasounds on day 10 (first cycle) and day 11. I did an IUI in February (didn't work) and March (like I said, BFP!!!). I did try Clomid a year ago...don't know how well it worked for me because my OBGYN at the time didn't do any monitoring...but I did get some nasty cysts a couple months after stopping it.
Good luck to you!!!
Thanks for sharing dear and I really hope all goes well from now on. Probably I feel a bit stressed due to the anticipation in the TTC phase, you know what I mean.
Can I ask you , with Femara was your cycle length and O day affected ?
I'm also charting and realised that probably i am Ovulating on CD11.What about you, did the u/s reveal something similar?
